[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 530444"] Hi. We didn't pay an allowance to our son once he turned a certain age and worked. He worked PT and went to college. He lived at home the first two years. He ended up doing very well. I think your list is [U]VERY [/U]good. RE: the limit to stay at home: I would call it perhaps a "trial run," or a probationary period. If he does [I]very[/I] well, maybe you would consider extending it for a full year. But, I see your point, it probably should [U]NOT[/U] be an indefinate invitation and after all, he is 21 (and it would very likely do him good to move out and be independent). If drugs have been an issue, I think periodic drug testing is a great idea. These things are probably obvious, but I would [U]not[/U] allow in your home: rudeness, violence, cussing, violations of the law, etc. I'm a little confused by the title of this post re: reading resource. I like a book called "Boundaries," by authors Cloud and Townsend. Best of luck...stand firm. [/QUOTE]
